    One of the best (funniest) comic geniuses is dead at age 82.

    Best comeback to a heckler I've ever heard.

    Rodney was a gem. I'll miss his brand of comedy. Was really pulling for him to make it. :(

    On the other hand I doubt that he'd want people all sad at his passing, so I'm going to party tonight in his honor. All the best to Rodney's memory. ;)

    Rodney wasn't just a comedian, he *was* comedy. He will be missed.

    I watched "Caddyshack" last night in his honor.

    He was one of a kind, had his own style and I think that is what made him so special and funny. RIP Rodney.

    One of my favorites:


    What's in a Name?
    I tell you, with me nothing works out. I always get stuck. That's how I got my name, RODNEY DANGERFIELD.

    When I went into show business I saw an ad in the paper. It said: "Improve Your Personalilty..." So, I went to see the man.

    He told me my personality was okay but my name was my problem.

    I said to him, "My name? How could a name be a problem? Even William Shakespeare said, 'What's in a name?"

    He said, "Who?"

    I said, "William Shakespeare."

    He said, "Look, do you want to listen to me or do you want to listen to your friends?"

    I said to him, "I don't understand. Is it good to change your name?"

    He said, "Of course I always keep changing my name. In fact, right now I can give you a very good deal. I can give you a new name for five hundred dollars".

    I said, "Five hundred dollars! That's a lot of money."

    He said, "It's a great name. It's a name once people hear it, they'll start saying it."

    I said, "What's the name?"

    He said, "Rodney Dangerfield."

    I said, "RODNEY DANGERFIELD?"

    He said, "See, you just heard it, and your're starting to say it! Listen to me, take the name."

    I said, "Wait a minute. Suppose I use the name and I don't like it. Can I bring it back?" He said, "Of course. All I ask is one thing. While you're using the name, don't give it a bad name!"

    So I decided to call myself Rodney Dangerfield. As soon as I got home, I thought to myself I made a mistake. I called the guy up. I said, "Look, I want my money back. This is Rodney Dangerfield."

    He said, "Who?"

    I said, "Dangerfield! Don't you remember?"

    He said, "Oh, yeah, Shakespeare's friend."

    I said, "Look, I don't want the name."

    He said, "Don't be foolish. Try it for two weeks. I guarantee you'll like it."
    I tried the name for two weeks, I still didn't like it. I went to bring it back. I couldn't find the guy.

    He changed his name.





    Rodney's character will be missed, but his comedy will still live on.
